In 1994, my uncle opened an eleven-seat sushi counter in Little Rock, Arkansas, and hung ten rules on the wall.
The rules of a proper Tokyo sushi counter. Where you speak softly. Where the chef is a priest and the fish is the sermon.
Arkansas has broken every single one.
He never took the list down. He just crossed out each rule, by hand, and wrote underneath what Arkansas taught him instead.
Here it is.
1. Eat each piece in one bite.
Crossed out. Underneath:
"Arkansas eats it in three bites and reviews each one out loud. 'Oh, that's good. Oh, that's GOOD. Tets, what did you DO.'"
(His name is Tetsuo. He has been "Tets" since 1994. He did not agree to this.)
2. Never mix wasabi into the soy sauce.
Crossed out:
"They stir it into a gray paste and call it 'the slurry.' I watched for ten years. Then I stopped watching. I am a calmer man."
3. No tipping. This is the Japanese way.
Crossed out:
"When I refuse their money, they hide it. Under the plate. Inside the soy sauce bottle. Once, in my shoe. I still do not know when they got to my shoe."
4. The counter is a place of quiet focus.
Crossed out:
"The counter is where I learn the name of everyone's dog. I know 212 dogs. I have met four."
5. Trust the chef.
Crossed out:
"They trust me completely. Then they ask if I can add cream cheese. I can. It is called the Little Rock Roll. It outsells everything I learned in Tokyo."
6. No substitutions.
Crossed out:
"Mrs. Hollister is allergic to fish. She has come every Friday for nineteen years. Cucumber roll. Miso soup. She tells me I need a haircut. I stopped asking why she comes. I know why she comes."
7. The chef does not shake hands.
Crossed out:
"Every man in Arkansas shakes my hand on the way out. I wash my hands 140 times a night. Worth it."
8. Do not ask the chef personal questions.
Crossed out:
"Big Jim has asked me if I'm happy every Friday since 1998. In Japan, nobody had ever asked me that. The first time, I didn't know the answer. Now I say yes. It's true now."
9. The chef works alone.
Crossed out:
"In 2011, I had back surgery. I was gone six weeks. When I came back, the restaurant was spotless, the floors were waxed, and there were fresh flowers on the counter. The regulars had a key. Nobody will tell me who made the key."
10. Never let a customer behind the counter.
He crossed this one out last. He needed a whole paragraph.
"On my 70th birthday, eleven regulars walked behind my counter, put on my aprons, and made me sushi.
It was the worst sushi ever made in the state of Arkansas.
Big Jim's roll had a Slim Jim in it. Mrs. Hollister's was mostly cucumber and prayer. Somebody used a cheese grater. Nobody will tell me on what.
They served it on my plates. With my soy sauce. And they stood behind my counter and watched me eat, the way I have watched them for thirty years.
I ate every piece. One bite each.
Then I bowed to them. Eleven people in my aprons bowed back, at eleven different angles."
My uncle is 71. He is still there, six nights a week.
The list is still on the wall. All ten rules, crossed out.
Last year, someone added an eleventh at the bottom, in black marker.
Nobody will say who wrote it. It is Big Jim's handwriting.
11. Tets stays.

well that’s cool
Scientists found a peptide that reverses alcohol damage across the entire body in under 30 minutes.
They published a paper detailing a specific peptide that acts like a biological kill-switch for alcohol toxicity.
And the results are actually terrifyingly good.
they used 96% ve, systemic damage in subjects..
we are talking severe gastric lesions, vascular collapse, and an escalated "central syndrome".
basically, catastrophic organ failure.
then they introduced the bpc-157 peptide.. and it didn't just slow the damage down.. it completely counteracted it.
it activated an innate "cytoprotective" effect that rapidly repaired the vascular system in real-time.
researchers tracked it all the way down to the gene expression level, watching the peptide dynamically alter genes to upregulate healing and block the alcohol toxicity at the source.Community noteBPC-157 rapidly counteracted acute multi-organ effects in a 2021 rat study after intragastric 96% alcohol, but this was an extreme animal model with no human evidence or approval for alcohol damage reversal.

Biology is not just a Rube Goldberg Turing Machine but so much more, because when you look at what the molecules really are and how they push - why it's electric forces, and the chemical bonds are electronic too, and all these molecules and atoms are bathed in a common sea of electromagnetism that does not just travel fast rather it defines the speed of causality.
And that these chemical bonds and molecular rotations all vibrate, DC electric fields wiggling into AC fields, and these AC fields travel as photons and land as phonons heating things up, making and breaking bonds, changing their shape, we feel this as heat, as light, and our bodies are made of towering stacks of electronic bonds each with its own energy level that are so closely spaced as to be continuous, and all these bonds and molecules vibrating and emitting and absorbing constitute a constant exchange of field energy and information with the towering stacks of electronic bonds in our surroundings, like tall ships with endless stories of cannons exchanging electromagnetic broadsides in both directions at once, at all times, along minimal paths in spacetime, at quantized energy levels.
And you'd rightly think this is all wondrously mad and fantastical and surely just a mathematical model and I say no - this is sight, this is what it means to see, both literally and figuratively, to know that your experience is constituted by electromagnetic field interaction in its entirety, and these same fields are what planets, stars, everything is made of, and when you open two quarter sized holes in your head and let it all in this is what you *see*. The world as constructed in your mind, the surface of your retina coupled to the surface of the wall, a cloud, a distant galaxy by a field wiggling both ends at once.
Now you consider all these things and what energy means, and how it flows through the body and the air and environment as a currency animating dead matter into life, that it comes from the Sun, ultimately, crushing protons into Helium and bathing the solar system in it's electromagnetic field of life giving energy, passed as photons and minted by chloroplasts into sugar, and if you really start to visualize and understand the true nature of what you're in, what the constituent building blocks of everyday experience actually turn out to be in the details, then you know for certain that humans are like children playing on the shore of an ocean so deep and wide as to make our greatest imagination and dreams seem shallow.
And that the laws of nature are as much for our discovery as we are to be a discovery of the universe getting to know itself. x.com/pedrobeltrao/s…

My opinion is that it is now far too dangerous to have unmanaged servers available on the open web
My view is that any system should be:
1. Managed by providers if possible, via isolated environments like Cloudflare Workers
2. If not possible, behind Cloudflare Mesh or Tailscale

sorta important
🚨 PSA for anyone running a Linux server, node, or relay
CVE-2026-98432 is a critical Linux kernel bug (CVSS 9.8). Someone on the internet can send crafted TCP packets and take over your machine. No login needed.
Ubuntu and Red Hat haven't shipped a fixed kernel yet. Debian, SUSE, Oracle and Amazon have.
What to do today:
1. Check your kernel: uname -r
Fixed versions: 6.1.190+, 6.6.159+, 6.12.113+, 6.18.56+, 7.2.10+ or 7.3+. Below that, you're exposed.
2. If your distro has a fix, update and reboot.
3. If not, block the attack. It needs TCP packets with "IP options," which normal traffic never uses. One nftables rule drops them. Log what gets dropped so you can see if someone's probing you.
4. Turn off MPTCP unless you need it:
sysctl -w net.mptcp.enabled=0
Programs built with Go 1.24+ use MPTCP automatically, and that's how the known exploit gets in.
5. Make it survive a reboot, and check it still works after one.
If you run a Bitcoin node, a Lightning node or a Nostr relay, your machine is on the internet by design. Do this today.
Self-hosting is freedom. Patching is part of the job. 🛡️

well that’s cool. little homie looks a bit spooked, but his feet getting ready to sit on the mammoth, and the rendering of the light both from the physical device towards the artificial folks - and then also the other way around, onto his hand - this is some good augmented reality. far better than that whale-demo company managed to achieve
Introducing Reality-Aware Rendering in @Simulon, a completely new way to create with the real world.
Place neural assets with your phone and act out the scene. When you stop recording, Simulon renders the take, reading everything in it (what you do, what you say and the place ssets respond to all of it.
The final is regenerated from your recording: a new performance of the scene, not a copy of the footage.
Available now on iPhone. Coming to Android soon.

a new paper published yesterday in Science Advances showed that just 10 minutes of ultrashort-wave stimulation significantly boosted the brain's waste-clearance system in mice
it amplified the brainwaves associated with deep sleep, even while the mice were awake
in mice with just 7 days of treatment reduced amyloid buildup and improved memory
startup idea: a neuromodulation sleeping cap that supercharges your brain's nightly cleanup, improves sleep quality and potentially helps prevent Alzheimer's
i genuinely think we'll eventually figure out how to get a full night's restorative sleep in just 4 hours
imagine getting an extra 4 hours of life every single day without sacrificing your health
the implications are absolutely insane
